I don't know about limiting the number of lines, but certainly, the number of charcters can be limited with the EditBox MaxLength property trivially. I suppose you could put code in the InteractiveChange event that scanned the value for occurances of end of line (CHR(10)) using OCCURS() that would cause the KeyPress event to refuse to add text beyond the nth occurance.
